That might have been under the old director, but the new one former County Commissioner Kevin Beckner didn’t pull any punches with the constitutionals and they were so upset with his board ruling against the county that they moved to abolish the whole system. You’re pretty much screwed now. It’s gonna be set up to make sure you don’t ever win and have no recourse.
